Taken I'm afraid Link[^]. Shame - you could have made MILLIONS with a name like that!

Maybe I don't fully understand the cloud concept. I expect more of the cloud than yet another music streaming service.

I hear what you're saying. It's just marketing so that Apple can say "me too". The cloud is not a concept. It's another technology/architecture that can be part of an application architecture. The marketing bozos like Gartner give it a shiny, mystical aura. People like you and me get confused, because we think there's something more to it. And that opens the doors to consultants (like theirs) to rake in tons of cash.

Lion the cloud.

"Attendees will also see Lion, the latest version of Apple's Macintosh operating system" ... And apple will immediately begin lawsuits against anyone who has a lion in their logo or the letters "lion" in (part of) their brand/trade name. So the Queen, numerous football clubs, and several countries will have to pay up, as will the writer of any book using the word "ganglion".
